Down For the Count

Since last Wednesday I have been down with very bad back pains. I have no clue what I have done to my back but it has been horrible, I walk like I'm about 90-years-old. I go to the doctor tomorrow to try and get this taken care of before Saturday. For those who do not know, I am heading to Florida for a few days to spend my 30th birthday with my husband. Wouldn't you know that something like this would happen a week before I leave! I have spent a lot of time in bed with the laptop or in a hot tub soaking...I have been very bored!

I was able to do school with the kids today, which went very well. I have a kindergartner now. I can't believe my baby is now in school, they grow so fast. He is doing great and seems to enjoy school. Taylor has done amazing this year as well, but what's new with that, she has always been a very intelligent child. I am very proud of my two kids and I am glad to be apart of their education as well.

I can't believe we are so close to the end of this year, it has flown by. Eric has let his district manager in FL know that he is moving back and of course they are sad to see him leave but are happy that he is staying within the company. They have not decided exactly which store he will be in and there has been some talk of him becoming the outside salesmen, I think he would really enjoy that.

More sad news as well...our cat Gabby past away Thursday. Eric and Taylor took it pretty hard, Tay really loved her cat. Gabby was only 3-years-old and we will all miss her very much.

On the 31st of October we will be celebrating Samhain (Halloween) and will remember our loved ones that have pasted this year and all the years before. In the Pagan community, Samhain is the time where the realms of our world and the "other side" are the thinnest, making it easier to cross over. It is best to make an offering to your ancestors on this night (where trick or treat came from) usually of breads or cakes, many even set a place at the dinner table for those loved ones who have past. Jimmy is going to dress up as the black Spider-Man and Taylor will be a witch. I am just hoping that my back will get better by then, the kids will be mad if I can't take them out. I teased Taylor and told her that she would have to push me in Maw-Maw's wheelchair...she didn't think that sounded too fun.

I hope to have pictures soon but my camera has finally crapped out on me so now I have to get a new one.

I hope everyone has a Safe and Happy Halloween!

Underground Accoustic Show

The kids and I headed to Kyle's Tap Room for an Underground Accoustic show and it was great. The kids have been begging me to take them to a show but they are all played at bars and I wasn't sure if that would be a good idea, but I was talked into it. It was great and the kids had a blast. I can't wait to see another one soon.
